2024-10-29 19:42:56Ric arrived at the location and it was still live. It was a lonely alley and he pulled up the fancy car he rode in several streets away not to draw too much attention while he played the role of knight in shiny amour in the dark night. Aaliyah was there. Ric did not go to her rescue because he felt a connection with her rather he had gone there because he knew the implications if anything happened to her on his account. Afterall she had stayed out late from home on his account and if something was to go wrong he would shoulder the blame because he was very bad at aportioning blame, he was used to taking responsibility for others, that was how he had ended up behind bars for six month. "And who do we have here?" A female voice echoed through the empty hall where Aaliyah’s location had stopped. He looked around and saw no sign of anyone not even the speaker. It was normal for Ric to remain calm and c

Shirley was genuinely frightened and the picture of Ric with an impenetrable skin and excellent fighting skill still somehow plagued her memory.It didn't take long for Shirley and Dexter to start the process of their leave, that night neither of them slept at home for reason of the fear of Ric.Ric Maximillano but to them he was Ric Mariano. Ric easily dusted his attire and did not stress himself to go after Shirley, she was too easy if he wanted to make her his target. It didn't take him two kicks to break open the door and let himself out of the hall. He was on his way to his vehicle when his phone started ringing."Mr Maximi—" "Say," Ric was already quite impatient but the number was a familiar one so he accepted the call."We have news on the sniper. We are heading to the warehouse location we discovered." The caller explained other details to Ric and he felt the need to be there himself."Send me the location, I'll be there.""There's no need for you to—" The caller was still

Aaliyah rode in her car a little different, her heart had felt very light when she had been with Ormond but now she could barely explain the way she was feeling. She pulled over and rested her head in her steering wheel.Ormond had said not to stay in the shadows for too long but for Aaliyah her grandfather was a covering and she did not mind being under his protective wing."Still out with the stranger?" Aaliyah's phone screen brightened up with a text from Lisa. Aaliyah had earlier sent a message to Lisa to keep her informed of her whereabouts and she also shared her live location with Lisa so Lisa knew that Aaliyah was still out."No, I'm just heading home," Aaliyah responded before ending the live location stream.Sitting in her car, Aaliyah has several thoughts running through her head, was she really confined to living someone else's life?Aaliyah trusted her grandfather with her life but the one she had suspicions about was Ric. He was so ordinary yet he was not ordinary at al

Aaliyah was in shock, her body vibrated as she struggled to come to terms with the revelation her eyes beheld. This was the same man that she had decided to give a chance and entrust her life to.Curiosity got the better part of Aaliyah and she decided to follow him.It was a risky decision but Aaliyah had always been careful most of her life and there was never much of a difference so why not.The man had his back to her and Aaliyah did not want to jump into conclusion immediately so she kept her mind blank and clear with the possibility that it was just someone with the same physique and outfit as who she suspected.Aaliyah did not know much of him and all she could do was follow.While Aaliyah followed, a certain man at a distance had also been watching and following her.He also had a habit of keeping his eyes on her but when his trail led him to a warehouse, he was alarmed and he immediately changed his focus."They are heading to the warehouse, clear all evidence." It was a shor

Aaliyah was half conscious but she was still able to see where he took her, the blood smeared on her arm dripping down staining her cloth made her even more anxious but she tried to remain calm.She could not feel any pain on that arm."Where's your car?" Ormond asked when they were a distance from the scene."I - I parked it and the entrance of the park." Aaliyah's voice shook, a resplendent indication that she was scared. Ormond was careful, his arm felt weak but he endured and navigated his way to her car on the other side.Aaliyah felt sick in her stomach, she hated to see blood, she had a phobia yet she had seen it on her own skin."Where's your key?" Ormond kept on making small talk with Aaliyah to keep her conscious at least until he could get her to help and safety."Just keep your eyes open," Ormond said as he laid her in the car.Aaliyah's body trembled. She was still shaken by the scene she beheld."No, don't leave me, please." She pleaded with Ormond when he attempted to c

"How did they find out?" Ric slammed his fist on the desk and questioned those who stood with him.A lot had happened and Ric and his men had been forced to evacuate the vicinity immediately the warehouse was blown up."They are one step ahead, someone is following us or you," Lord Gullathova commented on response to the question Ric had thrown openly. Everyone else dreaded to reply as Ric's fury was at its peak already.There was no way they could k ow which party was being followed since they had all arrived through separate routes and at separate times. It was difficult to ascertain since the person and waited for them to be complete before opening fire."What if they have someone on the inside, right here amongst us." Johnson Rogers said.These where the only two people that dared speak in response to Ric.Ric was no Mafia Lord but his natural first and cold demeanor coupled with his very short fuse of a temper kept them walking on ice."The stakes were too high Tonight and it wa

Aaliyah laid down in the soft sheets, her mind filled with pictures from the night. Ormond had stepped out after laying her to rest."May I come in?" A feminine voice called but Aaliyah was too weak to respond so she nodded slightly. The tendency that the person at the door saw her head move was very unlikely but the person at the door let herself in all the same."How are you feeling my dear? Let me tend to your wounds." A warm voice accompanied by warm hands cradled Aaliyah into a sitting posture. Aaliyah noticed that the person attending to her was a woman in perhaps her late forties or early fifties. "I - am - not - hurt. He is." Aaliyah counted her words as she spoke. She had no physical injuries however her mind was greatly scarred.The woman had a warm smile and a certain glow about her, Aaliyah noted that though the woman looked young and lovely, they were lines of age at the sides of her eyes hence the age conclusion Aaliyah had drawn.Aaliyah got no response, the woman pi

With no other option and against her will, she found herself in a dark place as she lost consciousness of her environment.Once again another foolish decision. When Aaliyah opened her eyes again, a pair of dreamy green eyes watched her, she blinked severally and his finely sculpted jawline came into view. It was a gentle caress in her face that had woken her up."Ahhhh!" Aaliyah shrieked when she discovered that a man was in her room."Hey, calm down. It's just me." A masculine voice comforted her as he reached his hand out to her.She shifted in the sheets, that was when she noticed she was covered in a duvet.Taking in her surrounding, the memories came flooding back, the room she laid in was unfamiliar yet welcoming to her subconscious mind."Fine, I'll stand back if that is what you want." His voice made her return her attention to him. "What are you doing here?" She asked.She didn't ask who he was because a fragment of her memory already answered the question."I came to check

Ormond searched his brain for an excuse to Aaliyah but his brain was not producing one at the pace he wanted. He stared a bit longer than normal at Aaliyah and she raised a suspicious brow at his growing silence. It didn't take long for Aaliyah to feel dizzy, she began to see Ormond in several places, the floor spun before her eyes and merged with the well patterned POP ceiling. "Are you ok?" Ormond asked rushing to her side when he saw the way she swayed.Aaliyah could barely understand the way she felt. Her limbs were nunb and her mind hazy.She was slowly loosing consciousness of her reality again. No matter how hard she fought to regain control of herself she could not."What is happening to me?" Aaliyah beckoned as she fell into Ormond's strong hands."I think it's the trauma from yesterday." He guided her carefully before lifting her off the floor when she could not move."You have to be really careful." Freya cautioned Ormond, a face mask over her face and a spray bottle in h

Inside the Conover Club, Ric and two others were seen at a table. Ric sat quietly and observed the event. The Grahams had lavishly spent on the drinks and food there was more than enough to go round yet Ric was not bothered with eating anything."Will you just sit there and act like you don't want to have a taste of these luxury dishes?" Alessandro found Ric on the table where he sat and taunted him.Ric did not waste his time to look up at Alessandro, he was more concerned about the feedback from the assignment Melissa was working on."Come on, don't act all busy. We all know just how jobless you are since you can't secure a job be a of your status as Ex convict." Alessandro intentionally let out this information and just like he anticipated, the people seated on the table with Ric exchanged uncomfortable glances."Is he really an Ex convict?""The man seems to be ignoring him, he may be bluffing.""He didn't deny it, maybe it's true."The couple were not comfortable with the knowled

"What is happening here?" Camille had finally remembered he was to pick Ric at the entrance and had rushed over. Good thing he only met the end of things."Ask your guests." Frank shrugged before tossing the gun in his hand at Camille's feet."This not some shooting range, why did you bring a gun along?" Camille paled at the sight of the gun at his feet."I didn't, just borrowed it from one of them so like I said before 'Ask your guests.' Will you?" Frank lied.He never went anywhere fully armed with more than just a pistol even when he wore just a polo shirt and combat shorts.Frank wasn't exactly the careless type and he wasn't going to take chances with the young Master at all."Please no weapons allowed inside." Camille put his hands together and beckoned on them that was when he noticed the three wounded men."Oh shit!" His eyes widened in shock alarmed."Y'all already had a complete show down didn't you?"

When Ric appeared at the gate of the Conover Club, he was quite mesmerized by the beauty of the infrastructure. He had expected it to look beautiful but the pictorial panoramic view he had envisaged, was nothing compared to what his eyes beheld."Excuse me Sir, please can I see your membership card?" One of the security guards interrupted his thoughts about the place."I'm sorry but I don't quite have that" Ric was naturally a polite person so it was nothing to him to respond kindly to a lowly security guard."I'm sorry Sir, but your card type is the determining factor for the entry access you are granted" the security man was not being rude since Ric had dressed up properly and looked like a rich man, however, he was only doing his job."That won't be any trouble, I'll just call my friend to come out" the Conover club was a place reserved for only the richest of richest. Some of these accesses, Johnson could give Ric to drive through preferential gates but Ric severally declined unwi

When the lady heard what Melissa said about Ric, she was a bit Ashamed of what was being said. The lady was Aaliyah.She had been passing and had only been oppurtuned to hear what Melissa said and because the man in question was related to her as her Fiance she had paid better attention.She had observed Melissa closely from her distance and concluded that indeed she was Ric's Ex wife."He is still so useless." Melissa scoffed annoyed.Melissa had dropped the items she carried in her car before she recalled she had wanted to pick an extra item and she had to return to the store in a rush.It was on her way back inside the store that she had bumped into Aaliyah on her way out."Oh, please watch where you're going." Aaliyah said politely when someone bumped into her.Melissa was rather rude, despite just being humiliated, she could just never change. That was how she was."You should also keep your eyes open to step aside before someone crashes into you accidentally." Melissa snapped at

Melissa had her heart in her mouth when Ric remained expressionless, she feared that he would ignore Damon and keep her on her knees for longer but she was wrong.Ric was not like that, he did not intentionally hurt people or their images for self gratification or cheap glory and moreover, Damon had a right over him since he also considered Damon as his older brother.When Frank noticed Ric gave no response, Frank was ready to prolong Melissa's suffering."Oh Mel it seems you would have to-""Let it be Frank," Ric held up a hand to frank and stopped his sentence halfway.Melissa had a slight frown on her face.How could Ric talk to the man that made her tremble to her bones so casually? Melissa was puzzled but then again she thought to herself that Frank surely was in a disguise around Ric so Ric didn't know who he truly was.That was just how Melissa was, it was better for her to think that way than for her to admit to herself that Ric could have such a powerful friend that frightene

Melissa's legs felt like jelly when the words hit her ear drums. She was expected to apologize to Ric and that too on her knees."Is there a problem Melissa?" Frank was going to surely see to the end of it all.Just as the drama was taking place, Damon came back.Melissa was already on her knees before Ric but her lips were heavy, she found it difficult to apologize to Ric.It would have been easier for Melissa to render the apology to a complete stranger than for her to apologise to Ric. Even if Ric looked clean, Melissa was not willing to accept that he was worth being treated more than a street begger.Yes! She thought that lowly of him."Say the words, I don't have all day to waste here." Ordinarily Ric would have stopped Melissa and ended all the drama but this once he chose to put her in her place."You! Don't even try to act high and mighty because I'm apologizing to you." She was quick to raise her voice and scold him but she had lost her voice ever since when it came renderin

If Ric wanted to punish Melissa by sending her off without purchasing anything then he would have done so but when he saw that what she came to purchase was beneficial to him, he let it slide and awaited a more amicable way to settle the drama. "I am sorry Ma'am," the Manager of the store ran behind Melissa and pleased after she threatened to shut down the store with her father's influence. Melissa often used her father's status as soon to be Mayor to intimidate people in the city and get her bindings done. "Don't even try to beg Me, that is the staff of yours that has insulted me and most of all because I was trying to warn you against wasting your time with this man." Melissa was raising her voice and shouting that she successfully got the attention of most if not all the people that came to shop that day at the store. "What is happening here? Why is everyone shouting so much?" "I hear that the staff here are insolent and even give preference to just anyone that steps foot into

Melissa had mixed feelings about running into Ric after he had hung up on her, she wanted to lash out at him for his misconduct yet she still wanted him on her side if she was going to complete her assignment but Melissa being Melissa, she let her emotions cloud her decisions and she decided to taunt Ric instead."Tell me what a man like you is doing here. Can you afford anything here?" Melissa said to Ric who was standing side by side with Frank."What do you want Melissa?" Ric asked when she would not get out of his way."Hmmm, a very tricky question you asked but the actual person who should be answering that is you. What so you want in a store like this?" Melissa said with a coy smile on her lips.Ric was very composed in as much as he detested Melissa for all she did to him in the past, he still gave her some respect as his ex wife and stood to give her audience."What I do with my life is none of your business Melissa," Ric replied with a blank expression.Melissa took her time

Melissa was shocked at his audacity, she screamed in frustration. She needed his help navigating her way in order to get to Italy but Ric was not cooperating.Ric dropped the call and massaged his temple, Frank's idea of using Melissa and her father's influence to find the assassin was a good idea but it was going to involve Ric constantly communicating with Melissa and possibly following her to Italy as her husband to reduce any suspicions.Melissa worked with the immigration so granting access and falsely approving fake identities was going to be a walk over with Melissa on their team yet no scam will be traced to the Milano Group president at all if the foreign authorities found out.Ric picked up his phone and answered the incoming call."Ric, you have to come home early today. Where are you?" Damon questioned him immediately the call connected"Why so?"
